The job situation has gotten a bit crowded with opportunities for things--which I'm not complaining about--but I'm hesitant to count my chickens just yet ( Read more... )

So if nothing else, working at FISC has been at least educational. Keying in social security numbers and saving PDFs doesn't require much of my brain so I end up listening to the people in the cubicles around me taking calls from customers asking about how to set up loans, how they work, what's going on with them, etc. I've learned a few new things ( Read more... )

Well, you can tell by the amount of actual entries I've written lately how interested in my life I've been. Some stuff's happened, I guess ( Read more... )

There was an informal plan in place at graduation time last year for what May 2008 - May 2009 was going to look like, according to the starry-eyed, ambitious dreams of John and Coco. It was simple--get as much experience in the fields of communications and photography/design (respectively) as possible in that time, coupled with saving a good amount ( Read more... )

So today is my last day at TD Banknorth. I've had even less to do the last couple days since they're training a new girl who transferred in from another department to do my job. I'm a little sad in a way--I'm going to miss having a job, making $11/hr., and the people here are pretty nice. Last week, the three other ladies I work closest with ( ( Read more... )

Unlike a lot of people, I don't mentally "check out" when I'm so close to being finished, but I kind of wish I did. I'm so ready to be done, but I'm close. I can ( Read more... )

I get along pretty well with everyone here in the office--even though I'm sure I get on the receptionist's nerves sometimes by messing up her cash somehow that I'm sure I didn't do--but there's one person that generally irks me. The Director. With everyone else, it wasn't hard to strike up a first conversation with, either with them coming to say ( Read more... )

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!11!!1!!ELEVEN! I am SO EXCITED, you have NO IDEA! I mean, going to work to do FUN STUFF, FULL TIME, AND GET PAID?! HELL YES! I'm sure you can gather how FREAKING EXCITED I am by my RAMPANT use of CAPITAL LETTERS. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ( Read more... )

Well, I'm feeling much better today. At this point, I sort of have to pep-talk myself through the day--the best part of it being my twenty minutes a day of chatter with John at lunch time--and some days I just don't have the energy for it. Yesterday was one of those days ( Read more... )
